PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Gets Epic Update

San Martín is located just west of Hacienda Del Patrón. Checkpoints and barriers have transformed this once-quiet small town into a war zone. Both sides of the town have overlooks, so careful players should scout first, before charging into t

Chumacera is the husk of Miramar's once thriving textile industry. Long abandoned factories overlook a main road lined with residential and commercial buildings. Verticality in both the buildings and terrain make this town an exciting location to loot- high risk, high opportun

Part of the charm of the game is the way it balances killer and camp counselor, a tightrope act that shouldn't be ignored. Mechanics mesh extremely well with gameplay and give players a variety of options in escaping Jason Voorhees —unless they're lucky enough to play as him instead, a delightful experience that is equal parts frenetic and fun. Sure, parts of Friday the 13th: The Game are disappointing, but it was, for at least a few weeks, one of the most hotly-debated and thoroughly-enjoyed multiplayer titles of 2017, earning it a spot on this l

For one, PC gamers are likely used to seeing clearly defined options when it comes to anti-aliasing, so PUBG's "Low" and "Ultra" won't help a gamer know if their running MSAAx2 or TXAAx4. Since there are pros and cons to each anti-aliasing type, it would be helpful for PUBG to let players know which was being selec

No list of the year's best multiplayer games would be complete without PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds . It's difficult to express just how successful the game, which started as an early access title on Steam and became a worldwide phenomenon overnight, has truly been, but we will try. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds set a new record for most concurrent Steam users earlier this year, surpassing industry staples like Dota 2 , while also forming the foundation of a new eSport and online streaming sensation, with the title frequently occupying one of the top spots of metrics tracking Twitch's viewership figu

Ian Huston: There can be misconceptions toward esports professionals when compared to what people view as traditional athletes. However, this perception is slowly changing as esports becomes more mainstream and people recognize what preparation and sacrifice is needed in being a professional. I personally think that the next step in esports’ march towards the mainstream revolves around players and their personal streaming. It’s been a form of entertainment for so many for so long and the main way to view competitions, but there’s been a pivot this year where celebrities and businesses have taken it more seriously as a way to directly connect with their intended audien

Addressing all of these issues in Early Access will help round out the game and ensure everything works when the game gets its final release and reaches PS4 and Xbox One, where it will have to address new issues related to cross-pl

This is especially important for players that aren't running the Slg game collectibles on the latest and greatest hardware. The game has high-quality imagery, but with poor performance on even $1,000 gaming rigs, it's hard to enjoy the scenery with stuttering and sudden spikes in frame ra

There’s a misconception about professional video game competitors, that they don’t work hard like other athletes, that playing video games isn’t comparable to traditional sports like baseball and basketball. Do you think that unjust perception will change? E-Sports on ESPN was a big step, I think, but what do you think is the next step in E Sports’ march towards the mainstr

Fortnite is something of a unique presence on this list in the sense that it was never really supposed to take the form it has now become known for. The original intent behind the game was to create a co-op sandbox survival experience, and while that form of the game has still found success, it is the existence of Fortnite Battle Royale that sees the game included as a multiplayer standout from 2

A lot was expected of Sony's PlayStation Classic. Following on from the success of Nintendo's own retro consoles, the prospect of a miniature PlayStation pre-loaded with the best games that the console had to offer was mouthwatering for some. After all, the original PlayStation had an amazing library of games, and as such this should have been like shooting fish in a barrel for S

Karnage: Cloud9 is globally recognized as one of the best if not the best esports organizations to be a part of. This goes for their employees/staff, pro esports players, and the stream team. Cloud9 recently won the esports organization award of the year and has won many world championship tournaments from Rocket League to CSGO ., etc. Too many to l

Players and the map don't always interact in the most realistic or predictable way. Some rocky places in the PUBG map can quickly get a player stuck, unable to escape and forced to wait for an enemy or the blue circle to come around and finish them
